I'm glad I never lost my abilities from swim team as a kid, it's suited me well in many areas as an adult. For us, 100M was a warm-up and a cool-down. We started and ended every practice session (Every morning), with a 100M swim. All-in-all we would swim thousands of meters a day. If you're worried about swimming ability, join a competitive team and/or simply push yourself gradually like you would with any other endurance event. Remember, though, ALWAYS have a buddy around!
Your not allowed to do breaststroke once you get to RTC, prep, or buds. they allow it in the DEP so that more applicants will pass the initial pst. Im a SO candidate shipping this may.. also, before you get to BUD/S, your last PST is increased to a 1000yd swim, w/ fins, under 20min, pushups and situps are the same, but you gotta get 10 perfect pullups, and run 4 miles under 31 minutes. form on the calisthenics must be perfect. we had a guy get 12, they counted 9, and put him back to the fleet
not untill u do the running and he stpped wen he did enough push ups and sit ups wen u do the real test they expect u to go untill the time runs out and if u touch ur upper back i think it woud be easier cuz going all the way down would be like taking a super quick break and not going all the way down would make more work for his abs
I can tell you if I tried out when I wanted to I would been sent back to the fleet asap!! I've been a building wrecker in Boston (local 1421) for 8 years and I'd have to say that's as good as it gets for any civilian attempting an stamina test! Toss an adze or sledge for hours or break up concrete for 8 hours! Ha! J hated it but learned to love
Joustmaster: could myself or anyone else receive that from you?? I'd say you like dick cause I don't need your Hollywood seal (no caps) to tell me shit. The meps building alone can tell me to fuck off as much as your 'bud'. I work for contracts. If I can get that then I would love to kill every buisnessman recruiter.
yea i failed the swim and sit ups the first time i took the test..but then the second time i took it i passed everything so im all reclassified and just waiting to ship...keep working at it man and try to get elevated scores it will really help you in bud/s...thats the swim and run under 10 mins...75 push ups and 75 sit ups and at least 9 pull ups..and if you do that at great lakes i heard you get some money too
They allow you to do the breast stroke or the combat side stroke.
The combat side stroke is a lot easier, then they had us take a 5 min break, then pushups where our chests had to touch a can of dip underneath us, and then the sit-ups, then a 5 min break, then run a mile & a half.
It's not as easy as a lot of people think, the swimming tires you out. I'm building myself up for the next one because I failed the running part by 3 seconds last time.
You have to Swim 500 meters in 11 mins, take a 5 minute break, 42 pushups in 2 minutes, 30 sec. break, 50 situps in 2 mins, 30 sec. break, then 6 pull-ups in no time limit, then 5 min break. Then you have to jog a 1.5 miles in 11 minutes. It's endurance. And it's tough because the swiming wipes you out.
You do not have to wear boots and pants when you take it before you are in boot camp. I haven't shipped out yet so I can do it in tennis shoes and shorts. But if you take the test after boot camp you must wear boots and pants. It's really not much of a difference.
What are you talking about dakingls1? There are pull-ups. And I gotta say that I finally passed, but they said I wouldn't ship out until March, so I said I would change in boot, but they wouldn't let me because I had a mandatory weigh-in. So I figured I have 2 years to get even better. But my instructor was Petty Officer Getka. If you've ever seen the Discovery Channel about the SEALs in BUD/s, he's in there. He's a pretty cool guy once you get to meet him. I'm going shooting with him next week.
alright,I have passed my PST many times. First of all you get a 10 min rest between your swim and push ups. When your doing your sit-ups you have to have ur elbows touch the top of the knee and ur shoulder blades have to touch the ground to count. Oh and you should do the side stroke..alot easier for the sunday swimmer. I give your props for trying though..its not for everyone.
wtf kind of breast stroke is that!? ha ha no way would that pass, im training to be a seal right now and holy hell that was a rough stroke try a CSS stroke way more efficient and easier
well the ACTUALL test is done RIGHT after a run, push up, pull up, and there might be something else so its ALOT harder than just doing the swim wile ur fresh
That shit was not fucking breaststroke the U.S. NSW community would never accept that for the PST nice try though plus combat Sidestroke is alot Easier on the upper body
and no Im not a U.S. Navy SEAL or SWCC
and yes I am just a high schooler but im on the swim team and track team and I use the Navy PST to train every day
@jameskramer77 good luck getting a seal contract if you get in the pool and do a breast stroke while every other seal candidate does a side stroke. Probably not going to happen. Also, your form on your sit ups was incorrect. Your elbows have to be at a 90 degree angle from your body the entire time and the top of your shoulders must touch the ground. Nice try.
I would never pass the real test (but definitely respect the people who attempt it). To win a free dinner from my buddies, I was more than willing to try their watered down version.
Also, you don't take the test while hanging out with friends. Instead you are being yelled and screamed at that you will fail, because you probably will.
LMFAO wow, that is pretty pathetic breast stroke with ur head above the water...wow. I bet he barely made the minimums if even since they cut out on all the calisthenics. Minimums on the seal pst equals 5% chance of bud/s gradutation
HAHA, this guy would never pass the PST which is the test you take for Navy specwar. You should be using the combat sidestroke anyways. Plus your shoulder blades didnt touch on the sit-ups. You would be torn apart if you actually took the test. SEALs get 9:30 swims, 90 puch-ups, 100 sit=ups, 15 pull-ups, and run in under 10minutes.
A Lap is there and back. If you are doing the basic qualifications for passing, like any military test, you will not pass if you only make the minimums.
Non of those situps would have counted. Shoulders have to touch the floor
